Hello,

i tried to implement a mixed structure of mbox for spams and spam backscatters and maildir for the rest at dovecot 1.0.13.

I used the information at the dovecot wiki: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces (Multiple Mailbox Locations)

But if i try this (complete config is attached with this part)

namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: "#md/" location: maildir:/srv/imapd/user/%u/maildir inbox: yes hidden: yes

namespace: type: private separator: / location: mbox:/srv/imapd/user/%u/Spam

thunderbird can't open a maildir folder:-( The msg is " Mailbox doesn't exist: XXXX"

If i use this version:

namespace: type: private separator: / location: maildir:/srv/imapd/user/%u/maildir inbox: yes

namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: "#mb/" location: mbox:/srv/imapd/user/%u/Spam hidden: yes

Thunderbird can open maildir folder but no mbox folder.. " Mailbox doesn't exist: XXXX" :-(

Where is my fault? Or is this feature first complete implemented at 1.1? I configured namespaces without hidden like a charme... with hidden i run against a wall :-(

Other question... has anybody a script to delete messages older then XY days in a mbox file?

Here is my complete config with the first config version:
